MBA

This is one hot topic for discussion. The number of people who are in the league to get admitted into the prestigious IIMS has been increasing year after year.

What makes IIMs speaial? The number of students going or CAT exam in CAT 2007 was roughly 200,000. Now if take the IIMs to have roughly 1500. If we include some seats for other specialised programmes too then the number comes around 2000 ( the no. of seats is indicative and is in the rise due to reservation related issues). Thus this leaves us with 198,000, nearly 99% of te students aspiring for IIMs to look for other colleges.

Can we say that the 99% of students are not worth IIMs are less intelligent? some may say yes and some no, They both have their reasons and I think both are valid.
But the important point here is that the IIMs not entirely in themselves make the colleges of fame what they are known as. The students who have handpicked with the most stringent process in the world( said by some magazine) are a very important part of the brand name- "IIMs". Similar it has been said for IITs.

One importnt thing IIMs have inculcated is and that is being emulated by the major B Schools in the country is the rigorous pedagogy. The entire curriculum makes the student slog hard and aspire for best.
